 ECOTROL®
The Forbes Marshall ARCA ECOTROL® valves are robust,
compact and lightweight control valves that come with a
pneumatically operated, easy field reversible diaphragm
actuator and a sturdy, pipeless smart digital positioner. The
actuator can be optionally equipped with a fully enclosed
emergency hand wheel (1) which is in compliance with
general safety precautions. The highlight of this valve series is
the Forbes Marshall ARCA-double-life trim (quick-
changeable trim combination) with the option of a double-
side use by reversing the seat ring (10). Because of its simple
geometry, the valve seat can be economically produced in
different materials like steel, hardened and stellited steel,
ceramic, tungsten carbide, etc., with or without soft sealing.
In comparison to conventional designs, the speciality of the
ECOTROL’s soft sealing is that the PTFE-element is flexibly
8C
supported by an additional Elastomer O-Ring. Both sealing
elements are located in the seat ring and not as usual in the
6N
valve plug. The additional metal-to-metal sealing of plug and
seat ring ensures that the PTFE-disc suitable for double sided 6H
use is not plastically deformed by excessive loads.

The difference between the common screwed-in seat ring

and this unique quick-changeable trim combination, shown
in the figures hereinafter, is because of the principle of
retaining and sealing the seat ring in the valve body. With a
screwed-in seat ring, the sealing between seat and valve body
is provided by the metal-to-metal contact of two conical
faces.

The conical counter-face in the valve body has a slightly

different angle so that there is only a theoretical
circumferential line contact. The required torque to screw-in
the seat ring is individually different depending on the
construction and the operating conditions. With the
ECOTROL® valve series, the seat sealing is purely axial and
achieved by the method of initial compression.

The compression of the sealing elements (6, 11) is limited by

the precisely sized recess in the body for containment of the
flat gasket. This limits the gasket’s compressive loading and
guarantees a perfect alignment between the sealing surfaces
of plug and seat ring.

The self-aligning seat ring (10) is held by the retaining cage

(9). The tightness is achieved by transferring a portion of the
bonnet-to-body bolting force via the retaining cage to the
seat ring. The valve body (12), retaining cage, and seat ring
are manufactured on special CNC-machining centres to meet
the stringent tolerance of each part. This guarantees the
required compression of the sealing elements. Excellent stem
guiding is performed by two special guide bushings (4, 8)
located as far as possible from each other.

ECOTROL : The Profitable Solution

"New”- the standard spring energised stem seal

configuration includes a PTFE-V-ring packing set (5) with an
additional micro-sealing element and wiper ring (3). The
PTFE-V-ring packing set is pre-loaded with a stainless steel
spring and pressed against the valve stem and the bonnet
insert (7). The packing set acts as primary sealing and as a
wiper. The valve stem is guided at two locations right before
and behind the stem sealing (5). Besides, the extremely
reliable sealing performance even under varying operating
temperatures, the stem sealing provides minimised static and
sliding friction forces in comparison to conventional stuffing
box packing.

Stem Sealing
Depending on the operating conditions, the stem sealing consists of a special sealing configuration to ensure lowest fugitive emission and
minimised friction. The stem and the packing bore provide a super finished surface manufactured by the so called roller burnishing
process. This process compresses the surface and increases its hardness.
The standard maintenance-free PTFE-V-
ring packing with a micro-sealing element
To guarantee sealing performance at very low
pressures, the PTFE-V-ring packing set is
preloaded by a corrosion resistant spring. In a
normal operation the sealing lips are pressed
against the stem and the packing bore relative
to the fluid pressure (pressure energised). To
resist the internal pressure resulting from
alternating operating conditions the V-Ring set
is made of different compounds. The outer
packing consists of PTFE with a graphite filling
and the centre ring is made of pure PTFE.
The bottom base ring in the V-Ring set acts as a
Graphite stuffing box
A reliable and safe packing assembly requires a
homogeneous compression of the entire set of
graphite packing. The screwed stuffing box
transfers the compressive load to each packing
in the stuffing box. This is similar to the hydro-
static principle of pressure distribution in a
fluid. To achieve a steady homogeneous
compression of all packing, the lower rings
must be compressed more than the upper ones
during assembly. To realise this, the patented
ARCA-OPTIPRESS pre-loading device,
activated by the actuator, is recommended.
If the packing loading is simply done by
tightening the screwed stuffing box there is a
Bellows seal bonnet
Hermetically sealing bellows are available for
process fluids when no stem leakage can be
tolerated (eg toxic fluids). The pressure-proof
and elastic stainless steel bellows is tightly seal-
welded to the valve stem and the upper
adapter ring. For safety reasons, the
construction includes a standard stem sealing
as back-up in case of a bellows failure.
Between bellows and packing a tapped hole
with a plug screw is optionally supplied, either
to be used as leak detection, bleed-off, or for
inserting a blocking gas.
7
wiper and just allows a small amount of fluid to
reach the micro-sealing element. This final
sealing element is made of a special elastomer
material. Its distance from the top wiper ring is
equal to the maximum stroke length. While the
valve remains in open position, dirt or any kind
of stain may accumulate on the stem part right
above the top wiper ring. When the stem
moves to the closed position some stain may
pass the wiper ring, however, it will never
approach the micro-sealing element and cause
this element to fail.
risk of an unequal compression of each
packing. In such a case, the upper rings are
compressed more than the lower ones due to
frictional forces. This leads to an unfavourable
non-homogeneous compression of each ring.
Since only the top packing seals tightly, it
comes to an early leakage in service and the
torque demand also increases. As a
consequence, the torque transferred from the
screwed stuffing box must be applied with
care, so that the packing sealing becomes
effective, while the hysteresis does not become
too high.
The voluminous bellows housing provides a
reasonable flow velocity around the bellows
and, therefore, reduces the susceptibility of the
bellows against crystallising fluids or polymers.
The design is equipped with a built-in twist
protection that safely keeps the torque caused
either by fluid forces or by improper handling
away from the bellows, a guarantee against
sudden bellows failure and the resulting
shutdown and repair costs. Of course, the
Forbes Marshall ARCA bellows sealing is in full
compliance with IS015848
Stem Sealing
Wear resistant bushing
To prevent galvanic corrosion between the
bonnet stuffing box (carbon steel) and the
packing (graphite), all bonnets of valves larger
than DN 50 (NPS 2") offer a special treated
stainless steel bushing. For valves equal or less
than DN 50, the bonnet is always made of
stainless steel.
Bonnet extension for cryogenic
service
The cross sectional drawing shows the
principle design of the newly developed
ECOTROL® control valve for cryogenic service.
The valve plug and stem extension are double
guided. The bottom guiding is located right
below the valve seat. This guarantees a reliable
sealing performance, a vibration free guiding
of the plug, and an easy replacement of the
guide bushing. Every part that is subject to
wear can be individually replaced. The seat is
axially restrained by the retaining cage and the
top flange.
PED top flange design (8C1)
To be in compliance with the European
Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) the valve's
top flange and actuator yoke (material:
austenitic stainless steel) are made of two
individual parts. The top flange is permanently
attached to the body and untying is
unnecessary for dismounting the actuator.
The bushing with a straight through bore
allows a super finish of the surface which
ensures perfect sealing between packing or
sealing ring and bushing. The stainless steel
bushing avoids or minimises any corrosion and
spoiling in the vicinity of the sealing.
The bonnet extension prevents icing of the
packing area. The thin walls of the insulation
column and of the stem extension allow only a
very low conductive heat flow. In addition, the
stem extension pipe is filled with perlite to
reduce convective heat loss to a minimum. The
bonnet extension length is based on customer
requirements.
All cryogenic valves, apart from Forbes
Marshall ARCA's standard valves, are
assembled in a clean-room environment. Here,
the valves undergo a thorough cleaning
process in a subsonic bath followed by a
complete dehydration in an air circulating
dryer.

Metal-seated quick-changeable trim
combination, particularly effective for
liquids and compressible fluids at high
pressure drop ratios. Liquid flow can cause
erosion by cavitation. The flow, directed
through the holes of the trim, is divided into
numerous jets of cavitating liquid.
In the centre of the cage, the jets impact and
the vapour bubbles collapse. Here, they do
not cause any damage to the valve internals
and the noise level is also considerably
reduced. For more noise abatement, a
perforated low noise cage is available for all
trim designs.

Balanced trim
Valves with balanced trims require much
lower control forces than valves without
balancing. As sealing elements we offer:

• metallic piston rings

• Elastomer Quadrings with PTFE support
• pure graphite

 Diaphragm Actuator (MF Series)
Description
This is a pneumatically operated multi-spring
diaphragm actuator of the new generation.
The actuator is easily field reversible without
the need of disassembly. The instrument air
supply between positioner and actuator is
attained through bores inside the yoke
providing more reliability in comparison to
conventional designs. This method ensures a
safe air supply to the actuator and
enormously simplifies the positioner
mounting. Furthermore, the combination
with the positioner provides the option of a
permanent ventilation of the spring case by
clean exhaust instrument air.
During operation, there is a minimal
overpressure against atmosphere on the rear of
the diaphragm plate (spring chamber). This
guarantees that during stroke movement no
ambient air can be sucked into the spring
chamber. This protects the essential inner parts
against aggressive atmosphere (like sea air).
